I finally got some time to ink up my new Medallion background stamp!!! The image itself is so beautiful, I personally don't think you need to do too much to it. This card was really easy, and I would love to make a gift set of these and package them up, when I get that done, I will post it here as well. The circle is 5" cut with the Creative Memories system, that is the only non SU thing I own that I will never part with! I stamped the Medallion in Soft Suede, then spritzed the card with the Bermuda Bay Marker with the Color Spritzer Tool, colored a few dots with BB, and used some Crystal Effects on those part. I decided it was too plain, so I added a punch of Boho Blossom in the center to frame my Filigree Designer brad, which is set with a Clear Rhinestone brad. I scored down one side, punched two holes, and ran ribbon through holding the back of the card on. The picture below is a little peek of the inside! Enjoy! I had a great time making this!
The swap group I am always talking about does sketch swaps monthly. For the first time, we just used one from Mojo Monday (link in my sidebar). It's a great site for inspiration and I print the sketches each month and keep them in a book. You will never run out of ideas, Mojo Monday is my lifesaver! So, this one goes back to the Jan Sketch Book at Mojo, sketch 123. I chose ROUND. Rich Razz, Whisper White and Old Olive are the only cardstocks I used. DSP is Cottage Wall, stamp set is Vintage Vogue from this past SAB. Faux jumbo brads using the 1/4" circle and Crystal Effects. Flower is Boho Blossom, and the new 3-pack Bitty Shapes flower punch. White Signo Gel Pen in the scallops. I hope the recipient likes it. Now, I need to make an extra for myself! The sketch pictures are below! This card is SUO!
